Hi Phil, I recently found out that a feature succesfully tested with older versions of PyQt was broken (http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=951) and at the same time the Matplotlib developers contacted me for a similar issue (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/711).
To explain our problem, I wrote this test script: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QWidget from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt def print_from_function(): print "Callback = Function" class TestWidget(QWidget): def __init__(self, parent=None): QWidget.__init__(self, parent) self.destroyed.connect(print_from_function) self.destroyed.connect(self.print_from_method) self.destroyed.connect(self.print_from_static_method) self.destroyed.connect(lambda: self.print_from_lambda_function()) self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose) def print_from_method(self): print "Callback = method" @staticmethod def print_from_static_method(self): print "Callback = static method" def print_from_lambda_function(self): print "Callback = lambda function" app = QApplication([]) widget = TestWidget() widget.show() app.exec_() #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue with the test script above is that all callbacks connected to the 'destroyed' signal are triggered except for the callback which is a method (bound to the object to be destroyed). So the question is: is this a regression from PyQt v4.8.5? (or earlier) Thanks, -Pierre _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
